Out of State Hunting in Texas

[MacAttack]

I'm planning on going to Texas this November to visit family and hunt some hogs and deer. I heard that I have to "register" my firearm in order to hunt with it. Does anybody know about that? I couldn't find anything in the regs.

And does this apply to a bow?

I live in Texas and have never heard of that law. I own multiple firearms and bows and none of mine are registered.

I'm pretty sure someone is screwing with you...we don't register guns in Texas.

Don't listen to what Beto says....

Ive lived in Texas my whole life, and have never heard of it i think youve been misinformed

Negative, never heard of that. Somebody is misinformed or pulling your leg.

Thanks guys!

You must be a registered republican though.

Someone is definitely yanking your chain. Bring all the firearms you want.

I own a fair amount of guns and only one the feds even know I have. It's Texas, if you do not have a gun, one will be assigned to you.
Also, you may want to check on the specifics, but as of September 1st you no longer need a license to shoot hogs on private land.

I could be wrong, but would think you not going to find an axis in the wild. unless it just got loose.

Tons of 'em in the wild in the Hill Country, they are escaped but they have established themselves well.

Just not a lot of places you can hunt them not on private land.

The only scenario I could see that is if you were planning on hunting military training areas as we did have to register the guns we would use with the base sportsman's center.

I wondered about that. Knew they weren’t native.

Yeah, Axis are from India, there's probably more of them in places other than India than there are in India!

 

[Reburn]

3 main species are non native but wild behind low fence. Axis, Aoudad, Blackbuck. There are a bunch of others roaming around too in low numbers such as red deer, barasinga even some elk.

There are nilgai in South Texas also. I shot one last year. That is some tasty meat.
